You might have heard Jet and Iggy Pop's cover of Johnny O'Keefe's classic 'The Wild One' on blasting out of your stereo but now we can bring you the rockin' video clip to boot.
Jet recently headed to Iggy's hometown of Miami to record the timeless tune, fifty years after its initial release.
Watch 'The Wild One' video now
"My introduction to Johnny O'Keefe came through Iggy Pop covering this song," says Jet's Nic Cester. "Although I don't think we have been directly influenced by Johnny O'Keefe, the ripples that he created are enormous. If the only thing that comes of this is just alerting other Australians that this existed, that's a good thing"
Iggy and Jet's version will feature as a bonus track on the forthcoming and fully remastered album Johnny O'Keefe - The Wild One, out August 23, 2008.

Man, Iggy's looking more and more like an orc out of Lord of the Rings every day!
